Fossil Link Found For Backbone Evolution Claim
A geology professor from Michigan State University reports a fossilized creature named Lochriea wellsensis as a potential missing link between vertebrates and invertebrates. The 24% inch, headless form with a tail fin dates roughly 200 million years old, with related forms existing about 425 million years ago, according to Dr. Harold W. Scott. The find, first uncovered in central Montana, aims to trace the evolution of fish into vertebrates.
